Tama And Ratna
The Short Story 5. Takbir Night

Starting this morning the Aditama family is busy. Aditama junior even had to be entrusted to their nanny, Uli. Anyway Bayu is not at risk so Uli is not alone taking care of his employer's child as well as his own son so Ratna does not need to feel guilty.

I have been going since this morning. Actually Ratna promised to cook something for Tama iftar and will follow it to the headquarters but since she got a sudden call finally Ratna was forced to cancel her promise and ask Tama to buy her own food. Ratna immediately went to the hospital after being telephoned by Theo who needed her help to perform emergency surgery on a cancer patient shortly before Ratna's working hours were completed.

New Ratna will gulp water after struggling with the contents of the patient's stomach for 3 hours, Dipta contacted him and Theo and memeint both immediately to the ER to receive TA patients who come wholesale. There is also Jay and Ela who are preparing. Theo instantly removed his tie and collar button so that his movement was not disturbed.

"Where is the condition?" tanya Ratna was tying her hair.

"There were two cars that were bullfighting with the contents of a car full of passengers. The total number of patients was 17. The other hospitals are full so all brought here. In addition there are also 2 motorcyclists and a road user to the impact of the accident. One of the drivers died on the spot and the rest were heavily and lightly injured. Ratna treats patients with women and children. Jay and Theo focus on other patients, I have to deal with patients who have a hard impact on the chest. Vishnu with Ratna, Hengki with me. Ela backs up the team and sets up an emergency operating room" Dipta said.

"Deal."

Shortly after, two ambulances arrived. The first patient who came was the most serious patient and was directly handled by Dipta. When entering the ER, the patient's heart rate is weak so Dipta immediately focus on this one regardless of the others. Jay who gets the most patients as well as Theo who helps while Ratna looks troubled with the whining of a child and one impatient mother-in-law.

It was past midnight when Ratna was done with her last patient. He was washing his bloodstained hands and releasing his dirty snell. Ratna washed her hands with ogah-ogahan. Since the breaking of the fast, he had just sipped a glass of water and nothing else had entered his digestive tract besides. Ratna even began to feel uncomfortable as her stomach acid rose.

"Nih, it's taken all the time to get Dipta out of the operating room," Jay said as he offered the drug to her.

"Thank you" said Ratna.

"Theo don't forget in love. I bought dinner so I'll go to the room, I'll wait, I'll wait" Jay said.

"It's so good Jay, why can't I like the same elo," said Ratna rather digress.

"Basi lo's. Did he eat Rat's full love? No," said Jay.

"Yes yes" answered Ratna.

"Lo what else is it? Are you mabok again?" jay asked while sitting next to his best friend.

"No, there's nothing. Taste me the next time I digress. I go first yes, want to take my medicine to miss in the ER. I was followed to the room. Tell everyone, sambel that is not eaten love me," said Ratna.

"Ready Bu Aji. Do it" said Jay.

This is her instructor an Adiratna whenever her husband is on duty. He always thinks things out and sometimes random. Maybe Tama doesn't know this habit, or maybe she knows but doesn't comment. Want how else, the name of the wife left her husband in charge of betting how life can be calm. This alone is just the duty of guard Ratna is confused especially if Tama is on duty while carrying the name of gegana.

Tama gave him no news other than a photo showing his fast menu. Kolak, 3 dates, and grilled chicken rice that he said rations from the office. Ratna also opened a message from Uli asking when to pick up the children. Until the last message said that the three of them were sound asleep after tired of playing plane-treatment with om Bayu.

"Tonight I didn't have a shift. I can go back, right?" ask Ratna.

"Boleh Rat, sorry ya make lo molor his work. That same parcel envelope in the drawer of lo don't forget to bring it back. Got another one already taken from this afternoon. Only elo stay that has not been so I brought here," said Dipta.

"Thank you, this is the food I can bring back, right?"

"Can. I went home to rest, tomorrow he said he would go home, right? Greetings to the family at home" this time Jay answered.

"Waalaikumsalam, be careful, Ratna" replied Ela.

Ratna first picked up the children at Uli's house. Forced to do so, he said Uli had not slept because he was waiting for Bayu who participated in night activities takbir. As soon as she got home, she took her children down one by one and made sure the three were back to sleep before she stepped back into the car to pick up the parcel from the hospital along with her bag. Ratna was getting stressed when she saw her suitcase was still scattered because she had not finished packing.

"Bodo ah, tomorrow morning I continue" said Ratna who just slept without even changing clothes.

***

As soon as she woke up, Ratna immediately prepared. She first put her cocoa clothes, sarongs and prayer mats in one big bag and then she woke up her three children. When Aksara was busy bathing while playing water, Ratna bathed the twins and at exactly 5:45 the four of them left for brimob headquarters to pray Ied with the brimob extended family. When she got there, Ratna first met her sleepy husband while sitting behind his desk.

"Dad..," call Ratna.

"Kebo is a person. Kagetin aja," said Cece.

"Fire woy fire," cried Bang Chandra made Tama immediately shocked and woke up in a confused condition.

"Asem," his grunts knew he was just being bullied.

"There on get ready. The rest let the commander Cakka who is regular," said Cece.

"Thanks to Ce. Back from Bandung I treat karedok made by my wife," said Bang Chandra.

"No pengen Bang, bosen every week see the brother eating it. Mending buy what a cake for my wife's son Bang," said Cece bargained.

"Back from Purworejo I bought a cupcake like a carton of Deh Ce," said Tama.

"And koe Ji, sing arep manganese sopo?"

"Who says it's like a box for you doang. To my people is also a lot," said Tama.

During the Ied prayer there were 2 Tama men who happily accompanied Aksa and the twins playing. Because it is also impossible for the three of them to participate in the Ied prayer so Tama and Ratna asked for help briefly. After the prayer, Ratna who was with Lilis and the others walked over to their respective husbands who were standing waiting in the courtyard of the mosque. They all shook hands while saying a pledge to forgive each other.

Tama said the name of the living man can not be separated from doing wrong and sin, and sin, that is why we must have an awareness of our mistakes and the courage to apologize accompanied by a seriousness to take responsibility to correct them. Tama also said, as long as we want to do it our lives will be safe, and peaceful. Many things Tama taught his wife and children. Starting from religion, life ethics, even other lessons that Ratna did not know before.

Maybe Tama is not a romantic husband like Bang Nanda, or a figure as considerate as Bang Chandra. Tama is not romantic, nor does she often say sweet sentences, but every time Ratna and Tama sit together there is always one new lesson she gets from her husband. There is a saying that behind a successful man there is a great woman behind him and for Adiratna his father does not stop there because she can be great if she is in the right hands.

"Mas, I'm sorry my inner birth I'm sorry I was so wrong with you as children" Ratna said, kissing her husband's hand.

"Sama-sama deck. Mas also sometimes make mistakes with you, may not be a good husband and father for you and children" said Tama reply Ratna.

"As usual, Mommy. We start again from the beginning yes, we learn again so that it can be good together," Ratna said.

"Surely."
